I felt my mother about the place. I don't think she haunts me, but I wouldn't put it past her.
I'm more selective now I've got a family. I don't want to work all the time. My daughter's 12; I don't want to miss out on her life. Soon she'll be a teenager; she won't want me around.
I always loved my mother, felt loved, but she was judgmental. Her father in Ireland didn't approve of women generally, and she took on his values. She believed her own mother was foolish.
My mother was born on a tiny farm in County Mayo. She was meant to stay at home and look after the farm while her brother and sister got an education. However, she came to England on a visit and never went back.
Being a mother adds another emotional dimension, a feel for children that I didn't have before I had one. They were a pain before.
You can't help but feel a little bit like a mother to the younger cast members.
I keep seeing myself in my daughter, and I see my mother in me and in her. Bloody hell.
I used to ask him to show me various little steps that we would do in our routine, and he'd do them and I wouldn't recognize them as the thing I was trying to do.
Both my parents died from smoking, so yes, I absolutely agree with the policy. It's nice for me not to have to worry about secondhand smoke here anymore.
We played some really strong competition and made a point to do some bonding during the experience. We weren't perfect, but we certainly played a lot better after that tournament.
I was given the book to read first of all and I found it totally inspiring, arousing and very moving. I literally couldn't put it down. There is something intoxicating about Marie's belief, not just in herself, but in the children at the school and in humanity - we need that!
We were very explosive and took advantage of the opportunities that we had.
John's been steady for us and has played his heart out. It is his senior year and I can't say enough good things about him.
I'd be hopeless at directing. I'm not the type. You've got to really know what you're doing and be quite controlling. It's a very lonely job.
